Uncharismatic Fact of the Day

The rhinocerus cockroach got its name for a good reason-- it's the largest species of cockroach in the world. These guys can be as long as 80 mm (3.1 in), and weigh a whopping 35 g (1.2 oz). Because of their large size, they are also one of the few species of cockroach that lack wings.

Cockroach

Cockroaches (or roaches[1][2][3]) are insects belonging to the order Blattodea (Blattaria). About 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats. Some species are well-known pests.

The cockroaches are an ancient group, with their ancestors, known as "roachoids", originating during the Carboniferous period, some 320 million years ago. Those early ancestors, however, lacked the internal ovipositors of modern roaches. Cockroaches are somewhat generalized insects lacking special adaptations (such as the sucking mouthparts of aphids and other true bugs); they have chewing mouthparts and are probably among the most primitive of living Neopteran insects. They are common and hardy insects capable of tolerating a wide range of climates, from Arctic cold to tropical heat. Tropical cockroaches are often much larger than temperate species.

Modern cockroaches are not considered to be a monophyletic group, as it has been found based on genetics that termites are deeply nested within the group, with some groups of cockroaches more closely related to termites than they are to other cockroaches, thus rendering Blattaria paraphyletic. Both cockroaches and termites are included into Blattodea.

Some species, such as the gregarious German cockroach, have an elaborate social structure involving common shelter, social dependence, information transfer and kin recognition. Cockroaches have appeared in human culture since classical antiquity. They are popularly depicted as large, dirty pests, although the majority of species are small and inoffensive and live in a wide range of habitats around the worl

Cockroaches are members of the superorder Dictyoptera, which includes the termites and mantids,[4] a group of insects once thought to be separate from cockroaches. Currently, 4,600 species and over 460 genera are described worldwide.[5][6] The name "cockroach" comes from the Spanish word for cockroach, cucaracha, transformed by 1620s English folk etymology into "cock" and "roach".[7] The scientific name derives from the Latin blatta, "an insect that shuns the light", which in classical Latin was applied not only to cockroaches, but also to mantids.[8][9]

Historically, the name Blattaria was used largely interchangeably with the name Blattodea, but whilst Blattaria was used to refer to 'true' cockroaches exclusively, the Blattodea also includes the termites. The current catalogue of world cockroach species uses the name Blattodea for the group.[5] Another name, Blattoptera, is also sometimes used to refer to extinct cockroach relatives.[10]

The earliest cockroach-like fossils ("blattopterans" or "roachoids") are from the Carboniferous period 320 million years ago.[11][12][13] Fossil roachoids are considered the common ancestor of both mantises and modern cockroaches, and are distinguished from the latter by the presence of a long external ovipositor. As the body, hind wings and mouthparts are not preserved in fossils frequently, the relationship of these roachoids and modern cockroaches remains disputed. The first fossils of modern cockroaches with internal ovipositors appeared in the early Cretaceous. Recent phylogenetic analysis suggests that cockroaches arose by the Jurassic.[14][15]

The evolutionary relationships of the Blattodea (cockroaches and termites) shown in the cladogram are based on Inward, Beccaloni and Eggleton (2007).[16] The cockroach families Anaplectidae, Lamproblattidae, and Tryonicidae are not shown but are placed within the superfamily Blattoidea. The cockroach families Corydiidae and Ectobiidae were previously known as the Polyphagidae and Blattellidae.

Most species of cockroach are about the size of a thumbnail, but several species are notably larger. The world's heaviest cockroach is the Australian giant burrowing cockroach Macropanesthia rhinoceros, which can reach 8 centimetres (3 in) in length and weigh up to 35 grams (1.2 oz).[22] Comparable in size is the Central American giant cockroach Blaberus giganteus.[23] The longest cockroach species is Megaloblatta longipennis, which can reach 97 mm (3+7⁄8 in) in length and 45 mm (1+3⁄4 in) across.[24] A Central and South American species, Megaloblatta blaberoides, has the largest wingspan of up to 185 mm (7+1⁄4 in).[25] At the other end of the size scale, Attaphila cockroaches that live with leaf-cutter ants include some of the world's smallest species, growing to about 3.5 mm in length.[26]

Cockroaches are generalized insects with few special adaptations, and may be among the most primitive living Neopteran insects. They have a relatively small head and a broad, flattened body, and most species are reddish-brown to dark brown. They have large compound eyes, two ocelli, and long, flexible antennae. The mouthparts are on the underside of the head and include generalized chewing mandibles, salivary glands and various touch and taste receptors.[27]

The body is divided into a thorax of three segments and a ten-segmented abdomen. The external surface has a tough exoskeleton which contains calcium carbonate; this protects the inner organs and provides attachment to muscles. This external exoskeleton is coated with wax to repel water. The wings are attached to the second and third thoracic segments. The tegmina, or first pair of wings, are tough and protective; these lay as a shield on top of the membranous hind wings, which are used in flight. All four wings have branching longitudinal veins, as well as multiple cross-veins.[28]

The three pairs of legs are sturdy, with large coxae and five claws each.[28] They are attached to each of the three thoracic segments. Of these, the front legs are the shortest and the hind legs the longest, providing the main propulsive power when the insect runs.[27] The spines on the legs were earlier considered to be sensory, but observations of the insect's gait on sand and wire meshes have demonstrated that they help in locomotion on difficult terrain. The structures have been used as inspiration for robotic legs.[29][30]

The abdomen has ten segments, each having a pair of spiracles for respiration. In addition to the spiracles, the final segment consists of a pair of cerci, a pair of anal styles, the anus and the external genitalia. Males have an aedeagus through which they secrete sperm during copulation, while females have spermatheca for storing sperm and an ovipositor through which the oothecae are laid.[27]

Cockroaches are abundant throughout the world and live in a wide range of environments, especially in the tropics and subtropics.[31] Cockroaches can withstand extremely low temperatures, allowing them to live in the Arctic. Some species are capable of surviving temperatures of −122 °C (−188 °F) by manufacturing an antifreeze made out of glycerol.[32] In North America, 50 species separated into five families are found throughout the continent.[31] 450 species are found in Australia.[33] Only about four widespread species are commonly regarded as pests.[34][35]

Cockroaches occupy a wide range of habitats. Many live in leaf litter, among the stems of matted vegetation, in rotting wood, in holes in stumps, in cavities under bark, under log piles and among debris. Some live in arid regions and have developed mechanisms to survive without access to water sources. Others are aquatic, living near the surface of water bodies, including bromeliad phytotelmata, and diving to forage for food. Most of these respire by piercing the water surface with the tip of the abdomen which acts as a snorkel, but some carry a bubble of air under their thoracic shield when they submerge. Others live in the forest canopy where they may be one of the main types of invertebrate present. Here they may hide during the day in crevices, among dead leaves, in bird and insect nests or among epiphytes, emerging at night to feed.[36]

Social behavior

When reared in isolation, German cockroaches show behavior that is different from behavior when reared in a group. In one study, isolated cockroaches were less likely to leave their shelters and explore, spent less time eating, interacted less with conspecifics when exposed to them, and, among males, took longer to recognize receptive females. Because these changes occurred in many contexts, the authors suggested them as constituting a behavioral syndrome. These effects might have been due either to reduced metabolic and developmental rates in isolated individuals or the fact that the isolated individuals had not had a training period to learn about what others were like via their antennae.[47]

Individual American cockroaches appear to have consistently different "personalities" regarding how they seek shelter. In addition, group personality is not simply the sum of individual choices, but reflects conformity and collective decision-making.[48][49]

The gregarious German and American cockroaches have elaborate social structure, chemical signaling, and "social herd" characteristics. Lihoreau and his fellow researchers stated:[38]

The social biology of domiciliary cockroaches ... can be characterized by a common shelter, overlapping generations, non-closure of groups, equal reproductive potential of group members, an absence of task specialization, high levels of social dependence, central place foraging, social information transfer, kin recognition, and a meta-population structure.[38]

There is evidence that a few species of group-living roaches in the genera Melyroidea and Aclavoidea may exhibit a reproductive division of labor, which, if confirmed, would make these the only genuinely eusocial lineage known among roaches, in contrast to the subsocial members of the genus Cryptocercus.[50]

Sounds

Some species make a buzzing noise while other cockroaches make a chirping noise. Gromphadorhina species and Archiblatta hoeveni produce sound through the modified spiracles on the fourth abdominal segment. In the former species, several different hisses are produced, including disturbance sounds, produced by adults and larger nymphs; and aggressive, courtship and copulatory sounds produced by adult males.[51] Henschoutedenia epilamproides has a stridulatory organ between its thorax and abdomen, but the purpose of the sound produced is unclear.[52]

Several Australian species practice acoustic and vibration behaviour as an aspect of courtship. They have been observed producing hisses and whistles from air forced through the spiracles. Furthermore, in the presence of a potential mate, some cockroaches tap the substrate in a rhythmic, repetitive manner. Acoustic signals may be of greater prevalence amongst perching species, particularly those that live on low vegetation in Australia's tropics.[53]

Parthenogenesis

When female American cockroaches (Periplaneta americana) are housed in groups, this close association promotes parthenogenic reproduction.[61] Oothecae, a type of egg mass, are produced asexually.[61] The parthenogenetic process by which eggs are produced in P. americana is automixis.[62] During automixis, meiosis occurs, but instead of giving rise to haploid gametes as ordinarily occurs, diploid gametes are produced (probably by terminal fusion) that can then develop into female cockroaches.

Hardiness

Cockroaches are among the hardiest insects. Some species are capable of remaining active for a month without food and are able to survive on limited resources, such as the glue from the back of postage stamps.[63] Some can go without air for 45 minutes. Japanese cockroach (Periplaneta japonica) nymphs, which hibernate in cold winters, have survived twelve hours at −5 to −8 °C (23 to 18 °F) in laboratory experiments.[64]

Experiments on decapitated specimens of several species of cockroach found a variety of behavioral functionality remained, including shock avoidance and escape behavior, although many insects other than cockroaches are also able to survive decapitation, and popular claims of the longevity of headless cockroaches do not appear to be based on published research.[65][66] The severed head is able to survive and wave its antennae for several hours, or longer when refrigerated and given nutrients.[66]

It is popularly suggested that cockroaches will "inherit the earth" if humanity destroys itself in a nuclear war. While cockroaches do, indeed, have a much higher radiation resistance than vertebrates, with a lethal dose perhaps six to 15 times that for humans, they are not exceptionally radiation-resistant compared to other insects, such as the fruit fly.[67]

The cockroach's ability to withstand radiation has been explained through the cell cycle. Cells are most vulnerable to the effects of radiation while they are dividing. A cockroach's cells divide only once each molting cycle (which is weekly, for the juvenile German cockroach[68]). Since not all cockroaches would be molting at the same time, many would be unaffected by an acute burst of radiation, although lingering and more[clarification needed] acute radiation would still be harmful.[60]

In research and education

Because of their ease of rearing and resilience, cockroaches have been used as insect models in the laboratory, particularly in the fields of neurobiology, reproductive physiology and social behavior.[37] The cockroach is a convenient insect to study as it is large and simple to raise in a laboratory environment. This makes it suitable both for research and for school and undergraduate biology studies. It can be used in experiments on topics such as learning, sexual pheromones, spatial orientation, aggression, activity rhythms and the biological clock, and behavioral ecology.[69] Research conducted in 2014 suggests that humans fear cockroaches the most, even more than mosquitoes, due to an evolutionary aversion.[70]

so with the German cockroach.[95]

A study conducted by scientists at Purdue University concluded that the most common cockroaches in the US, Australia and Europe were able to develop a "cross resistance" to multiple types of pesticide. This contradicted previous understanding that the animals can develop resistance against one pesticide at a time.[96] The scientists suggested that cockroaches will no longer be easily controlled using a diverse spectrum of chemical pesticides and that a mix of other means, such as traps and better sanitation, will need to be employed.[96]

Researchers from Heriot-Watt University demonstrated that a power laser can, with high effectiveness, neutralise cockroaches in a home, and suggest it might be an alternative to pesticides.[97]

As food

See also: Entomophagy

Although considered disgusting in Western culture, cockroaches are eaten in many places around the world.[98][99] Whereas household pest cockroaches may carry bacteria and viruses, cockroaches bred under laboratory conditions can be used to prepare nutritious food.[100] In Thailand and Mexico, the heads and legs are removed, and the remainder may be boiled, sautéed, grilled, dried or diced.[98] Frying makes the insect crispy with soft innards that taste like cottage cheese.[101][102] Recipes from Taiwan also call for its use in omelets.[103][104] It can be a feeder insect for pet reptiles.[104]

Medicinal use

See also: Cockroach farming

Cockroaches are raised in large quantities in China for the production of traditional medicine and cosmetics.[105] There are about 100 cockroach farms in the country. Running a farm involves relatively low starting and operating costs due to how hardy and easy to process the insects are. Chinese and South Korean researchers are investigating cockroaches for treating baldness, AIDS, cancer, and as a dietary supplement.[106][107]

Conservation

See also: Depopulation of cockroaches in post-Soviet states

While a small minority of cockroaches are associated with human habitats and viewed as repugnant by many people, a few species are of conservation concern. The Lord Howe Island wood-feeding cockroach (Panesthia lata) is listed as endangered by the New South Wales Scientific Committee, but the cockroach may be extinct on Lord Howe Island itself. The introduction of rats, the spread of Rhodes grass (Chloris gayana) and fires are possible reasons for their scarcity.[108] Two species are currently listed as endangered and critically endangered by the IUCN Red List, Delosia ornata and Nocticola gerlachi.[109][110] Both cockroaches have a restricted distribution and are threatened by habitat loss and rising sea levels. Only 600 Delosia ornata adults and 300 nymphs are known to exist, and these are threatened by a hotel development. No action has been taken to save the two cockroach species, but protecting their natural habitats may prevent their extinction. In the former Soviet Union, cockroach populations have been declining at an alarming rate; this may be exaggerated, or the phenomenon may be temporary or cyclic.[111] One species of roach, Simandoa conserfariam, is considered extinct in the wild.[112]

ok no how 2 get over the fear of cockroaches and lizards in specific. i will chek out cool facts about in hopes i get over my fear but perhaps you have coolf acts? or perhaps any bugs you like/dislike?

lizards? but those aren't insects in any way. most lizards' bite is not dangerous (as in not venomous but there still might be germs obviously. eg salmonella. lizards cannot get rabies though) and they're not likely to bite you unless you provoke them. the big ones have teeth and large claws so it's best to leave them alone if you don't know how to handle them. the ones that are venomous are Mexican beaded lizards and Gila monsters. Large monitor lizards can be dangerous (and some of them are also venomous), but generally if you stay away from them they will not attack. if you live somewhere with only small lizards tho they're not dangerous

I knew someone who knew a lot about different bugs and they were particularly obsessed with roaches (and bees also) but unfortunately I don't know as much. I got most of these from wikipedia. um sorry if these cool facts make it worse..

there are about 4600 known species of cockroach worldwide, about 30 of which are found in human habitats. to some degree it makes sense to be scared of them if they're in your house because they can spread diseases or cause allergies.

the heaviest cockroach is the giant burrowing cockroach, which can reach up to 8 cm in length and weigh 35 grams. it doesn't have wings and is the only cockroach that has has permanent burrows underground where it can live up to 1 m deep.

some cockroaches can live up to a month without food.

cockroaches have a higher tolerance for radiation than humans (cells are most sensitive to radiation while dividng and their cells divide only during molting), but fruit flies are actually more resistant to radiation.

a cockroach named Nadezhda was the first terrestrial animal to produce offspring conceived in space.

I like bees as I've said. also rhinoceros beetles are cool (they might look a bit scary because of being so large but they cannot bite or sting. or maybe them being large makes them less scary because you can see them as an "animal" rather than an "insect" even tho insects are animals obv. I'm not sure what criteria people use to determine scariness. they have cool shapes I think).

my least favorite bugs are mosquitos bc malaria and also kissing bugs they're terrifying.. the insects that look the creepiest to me are caterpillars though, weirdly (although there are cool-looking ones). they look like that to scare off predators and it works on me

@dressedsalad do you have any cool facts? you know a lot more about this stuff than me lol

[fruitsclipper]

What're your top 5 favorite critters? Also hi how's your day going btw?

MILLIPEDE NÚMERO UNOOOOO theyre so cute... as for the other 4 critters. um..... i dont knowww........... im taking critter to mean any smallish animal here :]

quite fond of 13 striped ground squirrels actually but i dont see them very often! a rare treat. also rhinoceros/ burrowing cockroach (the largest species and also flightless!)

And clam shrimp and also clione/ sea angel ^_^

Honorable mention to the meadow katydid. sound of the summer/ early fall for my whole life (they sound like a sprinkler lol)

& i'm doing alright! relaxing since i have no more in-person classes today or tomorrow :] i was doing crochet until the little ladybug distracted me ^^;

[crusaderguy]

You know at this point I don't think any of those people have ever seen a rhinoceros beetle, or a cockroach for that matter.

[sanktpolypenbourg]

Honestly at this point I would not be surprised if someone says that

I once had someone yell at me for picking up "a dirty cockroach" (it was a rhinoceros beetle, but they stomped heir feet and cried "it's a cockroach a cockroach a cockroach and now we will all get disease") :P

Same person also insisted that any species of "weed" can grow into a nettle

I sound dismissive but I love that person even more after recalling all this, actually

EDIT: To be fair and balanced, a case can be made that many people have "nature blindness" the way one can have face blindness. And when that's the case, when all plants and animals kinda blend together for you, it can make sense to err on the side of "this reminds me of something I fear". The downsides, of course, should be rather obvious.

Try to have at least one person wthout "nature blindness" in your party, and try to listen to them.

I just witnessed someone ask for a plant to be identified on facebook and because it had leaves in groups of three, dozens of fully grown adults said "LEAVES OF THREE!!!! POISON IVY!! I CAN SPOT IT ANYWHERE!"........it was not even close to poison ivy. There are multiple plants with leaves "in threes." Thousands and thousands of them. This is like saying any animal with four legs is an alligator.

[goldemas1244]

So the Malaysian nickname for Asiatic/Coconut Rhinoceros Beetle is 'Kumbang Babi' AKA Pig Beetle'.

Which is understandable goven how much of a pest they are but also like I thought that nickname was reserved for cockroaches?

[dead-set-goat]

Some of my “Blooper” insect photos lol

Felt like sharing. 

(well, this one’s pretty good, a little out of focus)

[thebeardedladyofthelake]

Interesting thought, and I really appreciate where you're going here, but I'm going to have to disagree.

If it were a swarm of flying insects constantly moving like a cloud to fill out the shape, I would say 15 lbs seems plausible, however, it is pretty clear that his critters are densely packed.

And a great deal of these bugs are on the larger side.

The 3 milligram weight per bug would put the bugs at about the size of a small ant, and if that were the case, 10,000 would be nowhere near enough to fill that much space.

Adult anteaters eat up to 30,000 ants PER DAY. 10,000 bugs of that size would constitute a third of the daily intake of a 60-100 lb mammal.

So. Let's think a little bigger. The average weight of a cockroach, for comparison, is 0.105 g, which still only results in a weight of 2.315 lbs at a quantity of 10,000. While 10,000 roaches might seem like more than enough, the number does not hold up under more direct scrutiny.

Here is what 10,000 roaches of the 0.105 g size actually looks like. (Link is a short video)

Yeah. Think about how many of those 2.3 lb containers full of roaches one would need to fill up a 7 foot tall sack. That small amount of weight per unit would really start to add up.

In most cases 10,000 insects would not be remotely sufficient using real world measurements. Obviously, since The Nightmare Before Christmas is a stop motion film, the animators wouldn't be able to physically make the literal million+ bugs that would be in there, so many of the bugs we see are much larger than the bugs we encounter in our day to day life. So let's think significantly bigger.

Atlas beetles average out at around 3.5 oz. Meaning a quantity of 10,000 of these guys

would clock in somewhere in the ballpark of 2,187.5 lbs.

Now, I'm not suggesting that Oogie Boogie would be quite that heavy, as most bugs are not built as sturdily as a rhinoceros beetle.

Additionally, we must make into account the fact that all of these examples I have provided are of adult insects. Oogie's mass also appears to contain immature stages of development, which can vary considerably from the size and shape of the adult organism (Grubs and caterpillars can get pretty chunky; they have to get nice and plump in order to have the energy to pupate. Meanwhile many nymphs are small and slender.)

And while we're at it, it's important to point out that insects aren't the only kind of creepy crawly he has. We clearly see worms, arachnids, and at least one snake. I'm not going to try to sort out and average all these variables, but I think it's safe to say he has a pretty substantial heft to him.

If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say 600-1,500 lbs.

...

You know who would weigh practically nothing? Jack Skellington. Now I hear what you're saying "well duh. He's a skeleton. Of course he wouldn't weigh much" but I think even then a lot of people overestimate the weight of bones. The average weight of a human skeleton is a little under 20 lbs. Now Jack may be tall, but he's also very slim in frame so I'd say this would be a pretty good baseline for him. In fact, Sally, despite being stuffed with leaves and what have you, could feasibly be heavier than him. Skin is, after all, the body's heaviest individual organ, accounting for around 7% of body weight with adults generally having between 7.5-22 lbs of it.

So yeah. An average human being would likely be able to lift the Pumpkin King without much struggle. The Boogeyman? Probably not!

Oogie Boogie may be massive,but he would probably be light as hell. I mean, he's a bunch of bugs (primarily, there's at least on snake in there so there's also probably a lot of other creepy crawly creatures) in huge ass fucking burlap sack. On average, bugs only way like 3 milligrams, or 0.000007 pounds. Even if though there's probably 10,000 bugs in there, at least, based on that average that'd only be 0.07 pounds (not including the weight of the burlap).

Bro would weigh probably like 15 pounds 😭

Aside from, again, being massive, he would be so fucking easy to pick up lolllll
